Consumer Description

I HAVE AN EQUINOX WITH A BLOWN MOTOR THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IS A PROBLEM. THERE IS NO LOW OIL LIGHT ON THESE CARS, NOT TO MENTION EXCESSIVE OIL BURN. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT USES AND THAT ITS ALWAYS BLACK - TO NO AVAIL. A SMALL SOCIAL MEDIA INQUIRY TELLS ME THAT 2 OUT OF EVERY 3 OF THESE VEHCILES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER MILKED IT UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS UP, AND NOW THE AG IS TELLING ME I'M UP A CREEK BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. GM TELLS ME THE CAR IS TOO OLD TO FIX - ITS A 2014!!!! STILL PAYING ON IT!!! CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POORLY DESIGNED MOTOR. I DID SEE AN ATTORNEY AND I WAS THE SECOND PERSON THAT WEEK WITH THIS COMPLAINT. HOW MANY MORE ARE OUT THERE?
